    <title>Ripollsworkshop Reads</title>
    <description>Hey Everyone! I am Courtney Ripoll-McBride! I am the host of Ripollsworkshop Reads.

I love to read and now average a book a day. It has not always been this way though.  I did not really start to read until around  the third grade when I struggled my way through the first Harry Potter Book. After I got into that series it evolved and I  now read all different types of books. 

We started this podcast to help share the love of reading and embrace YOUR escape through reading. 
 
We have some amazing authors lined up for Author Interviews already. Special Guests and weekly mini-episodes and so much more are in the works.

We are launching on November 10th, 2022 if you are interested in being on the podcast or want a say in books featured on our mini episodes check out our website… specifically the  About page where you can find links to our forms…….we will link to the website in the show notes 

We look forward to hearing from you!

Happy Reading &amp; Writing!

      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author Bio:</strong><br />I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them.

      <title>Author Interview with Page Allen</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author Bio:</strong><br />Born in the black dirt farmland of the Midwest, I have lived in the mountain- rimmed world of Santa Fe, New Mexico since 1985. My studio is here, where I work every day.</p><p>Painting has been my first art, which became twinned with writing in 1996. Now I paint and write books, finding that a visual language alongside a spoken one only deepens the story.</p><p>The stories are all about the human journeys, of birth, of death, of longing and love. They ask and show- Who we are, what we may be, the mystery and the exact beauty of life. When I began this new art of visual literature, I invoked Beatrix Potter and William Blake as my work's god parents. Think of Potter's careful observation, insightful whimsy and Blake's transcendent spirit. The visible and the invisible are of equal shaping inspiration.</p><p>The first story of my ongoing Passage Way Books is Madison's Descent, which began, literally, at the moment when my niece Madison Page was born, and then was given insight by my first visit to Ireland. The majesty of birth, the wonder of a land that is ancient and ever-fresh called me to imagine my own myth story- of birth.</p><p>I still paint for my gallery, my exhibition place of many years, the extraordinary Owings Gallery, Santa Fe.

Her short fiction appears in multiple anthologies. </p><p>Annie's got more WIPs than kittens. Here's one: a romantic suspense novel about pirates on the Kentish coast in the late 1700s.

      <title>Author Interview with Rebecca Bratspies</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author Bio</strong><br />Rebecca Bratspies lives with her cats, teenager and husband in Astoria Queens. When not geeking out about New York City history, Rebecca is a professor at CUNY School of Law.

      <title>Author Interview with Rebecca Gebhardt</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author Bio</strong><br />Rebecca Gebhardt is a sales leadership consultant that specializes in leadership development, with an immediate impact on stronger recruiting, retention, and revenue.

      <title>Author Interview with Andrew W. Pearson</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author Bio</strong><br />ANDREW PEARSON was born in Pakistan, grew up in Singapore, and was educated at boarding schools in both England and America. With a degree in psychology from UCLA, Pearson has had a varied career in IT, marketing, mobile technology, social media, esports, and entertainment. </p><p>In 2011, Pearson relocated to Hong Kong to open Qualex Asia Limited, bringing its parent company's experience into the ASEAN region. In 2016, Pearson started Intelligencia Limited, a leading implementer of AI, analytics, BI, CX, data integration, digital marketing, social media and cloud solutions for the gaming, casino, finance, hospitality, sports betting, and retail industries. Pearson is currently working on projects in countries such as India, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Mexico, the Philippines, and Australia. Pearson has also leveraged Intelligencia's expertise to implement software solutions at some of the world's biggest casino operators, lottery companies, gaming companies, and sports books.</p><p>While working in Hollywood, Pearson optioned and adapted the novels Open Water, The Sunday Macaroni Club, The Jukebox Queen of Malta, and Scavenger Reef, attaching such talented directors as Kevin Hooks, Fraser Heston, Mark Lester, Diane Ladd, and Jorge Ramirez-Suarez to his projects. Pearson's script for The Sunday Macaroni Club was a Quarter-Finalist in the 2004 Zoetrope Screenwriting Competition and The Flirting Game was selected as a Finalist in the Fourth Screenplay Search Competition.</p><p>In 2009, two books that Mr. Pearson edited appeared in print; the first in the Double Down on your Data series, Clive Pearson's How Analytics is Revolutionizing the Casino Industry and Santiago Maggi's Investment Strategies for Uncertain Markets, a book about the financial markets that presciently predicted the 2007 global financial meltdown. </p><p>In 2017, Pearson published The Predictive Casino, a book about how analytics should be used in the casino industry. This was followed by other books in the Predictive series, The Predictive Sports Book, The Predictive Retailer, The Predictive Airliner, with others soon to follow. Pearson has also written a series of books detailing how AI can be used in various industries. The books include The A.I. Sports Book, The A.I. Hotelier, The A.I. Retailer, The A.I. Casino, The A.I. Cruise Line, and a general book on A.I. in advertising called The A.I. Marketer.</p><p>In July 2023, Pearson's first novel, The Dead Chip Syndicate was traditionally published by Brother Mockingbird Publishing. An early reviewer said, "The Dead Chip Syndicate reads like a Hollywood Blockbuster, powered by unstoppable action, exotic locations, and a diverse cast of characters willing to kill to get rich, or die trying. Imagine Las Vegas plonked on the lip of China, and that's Macau, as rich in desperate hustlers, beautiful escorts, and cut-throat businessmen as Sin City ever was. If you've been to Macau, you'll recognize the city in this book; if you haven't, you're in for a thrilling introduction."</p><p>Pearson is also a noted columnist, writing on topics such as analytics, mobile media, social media, and cloud technology for such publications as The Journal of Mobile and Social Media Marketing, The Journal of Applied Marketing Analytics, ComputerWorld HK, and The Mobile Marketer. Pearson is also a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Mobile and Social Media Marketing, as well as the president of the Advanced Analytics Association of Macau. </p><p>Pearson is also a VP of the Macau Grow uP eSports Association in Macau and has been part of the producing team that created the award-winning Girl Gamer Festival in both Macau, Lisbon, and Dubai. Pearson sees esports as a way to reach the coveted Millenial demographic, especially in China. </p><p>An avid traveler, Pearson is a sought-after speaker, lecturing on such disparate topics as AI + ML, casino and mobile marketing, data analytics, social media and interactivity. If he's not pounding the pavements of Hollywood, he's probably meandering through the labyrinthine streets of Hong Kong's Lang Kwai Fong, or tearing up useless betting slips at Happy Valley (perhaps the most perfectly named racecourse in the world (for some)), or dining at a hawker center in Singapore, or wandering through tall safari grasses in South Africa, or grabbing some lechon at a bustling outdoor food market in Manila, or doubling down at the gaming tables in Macau. Basically, Pearson's trying to find the next great story that the world doesn't yet know that it desperately wants to see...</p><p><strong>Connect with Andrew Pearson</strong><br /><a href="https://andrewwpearson.com/persona/press">Website</a></p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Author Bio:<br />Step into the Tranquil World of Flyover County: A Glimpse into Rural America's Allure</p><p>In a world that never seems to stop spinning, where bustling cities and densely populated states dominate our daily lives, there exists a hidden gem, a tranquil oasis that beckons those who seek respite from the chaos. I found my way to this sanctuary several years ago, leaving behind the urban sprawl that had defined my existence. And oh, how I fell in love with rural America.</p><p>Here, in the heart of this captivating countryside, a unique culture thrives, waiting to be unveiled to the world. It's a tale I am compelled to share. As an outsider, I've embarked on a journey to capture the essence of this extraordinary place through my words.</p><p>Let me introduce you to the enchanting town of Helen, South Dakota. A town that exists solely within the realm of my imagination, yet it serves as a vibrant canvas on which I paint the vivid tapestry of middle America. Through the lens of my outsider perspective, I invite you to explore this world with me, where simplicity reigns supreme and the allure of a less chaotic lifestyle is undeniable.</p><p>I extend to you an invitation to embark on a literary adventure with me, delving into the captivating Flyover County series stories. With each page turned, I hope to impart laughter, insight, and a newfound appreciation for small-town America.</p><p>So, dear reader, as you embark on this journey, grab one of my stories, perhaps a warm cup of your favorite tea or a glass of wine, and carve out your own special reading haven. Join me as we escape together to Flyover County—a place of genuine charm and even more genuine people.</p><p>And if time is of the essence, fear not.

      <title>Author Interview with Kale Sudhoff</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author Bio</strong><br />My name is Kale Sudhoff and I am currently 19 years old and busy attending college and working as an Enrichment teacher at a local Preschool. I am a typical teenager hanging out with friends, but in my free time I loves to write and illustrate children’s books. I have written and illustrated three children’s books. In the Fall of 2020, when I was a Sophomore in High School, I released my first book, Danny the Duck Heads South, and in the Spring of 2022, when I was a Junior in High School, I released my second book, Danny and Kevin Conquer Camping. Throughout my school years, I have seen kids being excluded for being different or having a disability, so I wanted Danny and Kevin Conquer Camping to raise awareness for Limb Loss and Limb Difference.</p><p>My latest book, Stewart H. Quills and His Explosive Emotions was released in the Fall of 2023. I am on a mission to inspire children to thrive, regardless of their challenges. I am currently working on my next book to raise awareness for Hearing Loss. A portion of every book sale is donated to The Aktion Club, a local organization for people with disabilities. I am going to college to become an Elementary Education teacher and also hope to continue to pursue my passion of writing and illustrating children's books.</p><p><strong>Connect with Kale Sudhoff</strong><br /><a href="https://kalesudhoff20.wixsite.com/portfolio">Website</a></p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong><br />00:15 Introduction<br />00:40 What are your books about?<br />3:56 What inspired you to write your books?<br />6:50 Who is your book for?<br />8:33 How long have you been writing and what made you really sit down and start?<br />10:54 What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?<br />11:44 Do you have a favorite writing snack or drink?<br />12:04 What type of books do you personally enjoy reading?<br />12:52 Are there any books or writers that inspired you to become an author?<br />13:22 What books did you grow up reading, did you have an all-time favorite?<br />13:43 Now as an adult do you have any favorite series or authors?<br />14:16 What advice would you offer to someone just starting to read again?<br />14:50 What would you tell someone just starting to write their own book?<br />16:55 Where is the best place for readers to connect with you?</p>

She loves exploring and credits her travels to Peru, Europe, and throughout the United States for coloring her world. But mostly, she writes stories from the heart with the hope to touch your soul. When she is not doing that, she enjoys cooking, hiking, painting, and hanging out with her dogs and beloved DogDad.</p><p>Serra is actively writing the next two books of the Legends of Star Junction series.

      <title>Author Interview with Cynthia Neale</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author Bio</strong><br />Cynthia G. Neale grew up in the Finger Lakes region of New York and earned a degree from<br />Vermont College in Writing and Literature. She also attended Roberts Wesleyan College in<br />Rochester, New York, Elmira College in Elmira, NY, and received a Certification in Paralegal<br />Studies in the American Paralegal Studies at St. John Fisher College in Rochester, NY, earning a<br />Certificate of Scholarly Distinction. Legal research introduced the author to historiography and<br />the critical examination of sources for capturing authenticity for her five acclaimed historical<br />novels, a screenplay series, and a historical musical drama. She worked as a legal secretary and<br />a paralegal for many years while pursuing creative writing.</p><p>Ms. Neale was an analytical writer and freelance writer, a fiction judge for local writing<br />organizations, and for many years, she wrote a romance series, Loving You in Waltz Hold, for an<br />Irish dance magazine published in Ireland. She briefly owned a tea business, Miss Havisham’s,<br />inspiring her to write and publish, Pavlova in a Hat Box, Sweet Memories & Desserts, a recipe<br />book with essays and whimsical watercolors.</p><p>Cynthia Neale’s passion for listening to voices of the past and delving into the deep recesses of<br />history for dark truths and golden nuggets of hope continues. Her most recent novel, Catharine,<br />Queen of the Tumbling Waters, deftly and vividly weaves the true story of a remarkable<br />Iroquois and French woman who lived during the French and Indian War and the American<br />Revolution. The Irish Dresser Series begins with a young girl in Famine Ireland crossing the<br />Atlantic in a dresser to survive and ends in New York after the Civil War. The Irish Dresser, A<br />Story of Hope during The Great Hunger, Hope in New York City, the Continuing Story of The Irish<br />Dresser, Norah, The Making of an Irish-American Woman in 18th-Century New York, and The<br />Irish Milliner, sketches out one woman’s passionate, courageous, and reckless journey in<br />uniquely becoming an Irish-American woman.</p><p>Neale lives in New Hampshire with her husband and cat. and when she isn’t researching,<br />writing, and speaking at events, she enjoys Irish dancing, ballroom dancing, hiking, travel,<br />painting, reading, baking (writing another cookbook), and dreaming of possibilities.</p><p><strong>Connect with Cynthia Neale</strong><br /><a href="www.cynthianeale.com">Website</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/cynthia.neale.9/">Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nealecynthia/?hl=en">Instagram</a><br /><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cynthia-neale-19587923/">LinkedIn</a><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/Cynthia-G.-Neale/author/B001JRZKVC?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true">Amazon</a></p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong><br />00:15 Introduction<br />1:01 What are your books about?<br />5:11 What inspired you to write your books?<br />10:33 Who are your books for?<br />12:21 How long have you been writing?<br />13:49 What is your schedule like when you are writing?<br />14:41 is there anything you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?<br />15:29 Do you have a favorite writing snack or drink?<br />15:57 What type of books do you personally enjoy reading?<br />16:28 Are there any books or writers that inspired you to become a writer?<br />17:20 What books did you grow up reading?<br />21:02 What would you tell someone just starting out reading again?<br />21:59 What sort of advice would you give to someone just starting out writing their own book?<br />24:13 Do you have any additional comments?<br />25:45 Where is the best place to connect with you?</p>

      <title>Author Interview with Brian Johnson</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author Bio</strong><br /> I started in the wellness industry at age seven when I started working out with my dad in our garage. I had my first gym membership at Worlds Gym where I worked out with my older brother when I was in the fifth grade. I was always involved in working out, playing basketball, football and running track. Going into college, I decided to make this my career. I focused on a degree in sports management and biomechanics because my love for the health and wellness field is unquenchable! This led me into 10 years of working my way up the corporate ladder at 24 Hour Fitness. After running training departments for 7 years I figured out what my real goal was, and that is to help people with the quality and quantity of their life by developing an easy to follow health coaching program that helps people with their goals and teaches them to thrive in today’s busy-fast paced life. I entered the corporate wellness market with a simple plan that anyone can follow. Through education, accountability, compassion and tough love, I teach people and businesses an easy to follow plan with the components: ‘Air, Water, Food, Consciousness & Sleep’. These components can be implemented at any point in time, right there on the spot. Understanding the powerful impact that each component has can and will make a potentially dramatic impact on the wellbeing of the individual as well as the business.</p><p><strong>Connect with Brian Johnson</strong><br /><a href="https://a.co/d/1pMyy5K">Amazon</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/thinkgreatloseweight/">Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://brianjohnsoncoaching.mykajabi.com/home">Website</a></p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong><br />00:15 Introduction<br />1:18 What is your book about?<br />3:32 What inspired you to write your book?<br />4:20 Who is your book for?<br />5:00 How long have you been writing?<br />5:42 What was your schedule like when you were writing your book?<br />6:28 What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?<br />6:50 Do you have a favorite writing snack or drink?<br />7:52 What type of books do you personally enjoy reading?<br />8:59 Are there any books or authors that inspired you to become an author?<br />9:50 What books did you grow up reading?<br />10:23 Now as an adult do you have any favorite series or authors?<br />11:13 What would you tell someone just starting out reading again?<br />12:29 What sort of advice would you give someone just starting to write their own book?<br />13:44 Any additional comments?<br />14:57 Where is the best place for readers to connect with you?</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author Bio</strong><br />Gerald Schoenewolf is a New York State licensed psychoanalyst, a former adjunct professor at the Borough of Manhattan Community College, an author of 30 books, an award-winning screenwriter and a filmmaker. He was born in Fredericksburg, Texas, a small town where everybody spoke German, and he came to New York at the age of 19. He has worked in New York ever since. His books include 14 works on psychology and psychoanalysis as well other nonfiction works; also nine novels and a book of poems and drawings. His book, "Jennifer and Her Selves," was a top paperback seller in its first edition by Dell. His screenplays have won first prize in film festivals in the USA and the UK, and have been in the finals of several other festivals. He produced and directed two of his screenplays, "Therapy," and "Brooklyn Nights." He published all his novels himself, including FREUD IN LOVE, LIZZIE (about Lizzie Borden) and LUNA, a imaginative and touching novel about a seventeen-year-old girl who rides into a Texas town with a dark mission. It is written in the second person, and readers are calling it a page-turner. His latest book, THE MASS KILLER: SIX CASE HISTORIES THAT TELL US WHY, was launched by Defiance Press on August 1, 2023.</p><p><strong>Connect with Gerald Schoenewolf</strong><br /><a href="https://www.drschoenewolf.com/books.php">Website</a><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B001H6QSEI/about">Amazon</a></p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong><br />00:15 Introduction<br />1:02 What is your book about?<br />11:46 What inspired you to write your book?<br />13:42 Who is your book for?<br />14:52 How long have you been writing?<br />18:40 What is your schedule like when you are writing?<br />19:36 What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?<br />20:26 Do you have a favorite writing snack or drink?<br />20:58 What books do you personally enjoy reading?<br />21:56 Are there any books or authors that inspired you to become an author?<br />23:34 What books did you grow up reading?<br />24:38 Now as an adult do you have any favorite series or authors?<br />26:06 What would you tell someone just starting out reading again?<br />27:14 What sort of advice would you give to someone just starting to write their own book?<br />21:12 Where is the best place to connect with you?</p>

      <title>Author Interview with Joanne Greene</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>About Joanne Greene</strong><br />A product of 1950s and ’60s Brookline, Massachusetts, where the butcher and tailor shared the block with a deli and two Chinese restaurants, Joanne was repeatedly told that little girls should be seen and not heard. Yeah, right. Her adventurous spirit led her to study theater at Northwestern and creative media at Emerson before diving headfirst into San Francisco radio and television, where she hosted and produced award-winning feminist and other timely features and talk shows for decades, while working to main- tain the perfect marriage and be an exemplary parent.</p><p>In her debut memoir, By Accident, a freak, traumatic accident set Joanne on a journey of discovering that her true power would come in the still moments, the moments when she loosened her grip and even allowed herself to crack, finding beauty and possi- bility in her fragility. By Accident is a story about discovering that control is a seductive illusion and how letting go of the need for it can reveal great strength and lead us to even firmer ground.</p><p>Today Joanne writes and podcasts from her home in Marin County, California, where she lives with her husband since 1980 and their damn near perfect goldendoodle, Moxie. Both sons and two grandkids are thriving in Los Angeles.</p><p><strong>Connect with Joanne Greene</strong><br /><a href="www.joanne-greene.com">Website</a></p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong><br />00:15 Introduction<br />1:18 What is your book about?<br />4:47 What inspired you to write your book?<br />5:58 Who is your book for?<br />7:38 How long have you been writing and what made you really start?<br />9:55 What was your schedule like when you were writing your book?<br />12:32 What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?<br />13:17 What is your favorite writing snack or drink?<br />13:53 What type of books do you personally enjoy reading?<br />15:11 Are there any books or authors that inspired you to become an author?<br />16:26 What books did you grow up reading?<br />16:59 Now as an adult do you have a favorite series or author?<br />17:58 Do you have any advice for someone just starting to read again?<br />19:07 What sort of advice do you have for those starting to write their own book?<br />23:18 Where is the best place for our listeners to connect with you?</p>

Robert has degrees in psychology, sociology, biology and education, all of which inspire his writing.</p><p>Robert studied Wado-Ryu karate for twenty years and ran his own dojo in Perth for several years. However, he is not currently training.</p><p>Robert is kosmemophobic, meaning he has a fear of jewellery. He has no idea why; it just freaks him out.</p><p><strong>Connect with Robert New</strong><br /><a href="https://robertsnew.com/">Website</a><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B01HWFP492/about">Amazon</a></p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong><br />00:15 Introduction<br />00:32 What are your books about?<br />2:39 What inspired you to write your book?<br />4:50 Who are your books for?<br />6:05 How long have you been writing?<br />9:49 Would you be willing to share about the book you and your daughter wrote?<br />12:15 What is your schedule like when you are writing a book?<br />15:14 What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?<br />16:13 What is your favorite writing snack or drink?<br />17:29 What type of books do you personally enjoy reading?<br />19:28 Are there any books or authors that inspired you to become an author?<br />22:58 What books did you grow up reading and did you have an all-time favorite?<br />25:46 Now as an adult do you have any favorite authors?<br />27:28 What would you tell someone just starting to read again.<br />29:35 What sort of advice would you give to someone writing their own book?<br />33:19 Do you have any additional comments?<br />34:04 Where is the best place for our listeners to connect with you?</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author Bio</strong><br />AK Weller is the author of the Anna Bowman Thrillers and Sam Walsh, PI Mysteries series. She's from Texas and lives in Montana, and she's a certified human being who has never and will never use AI to write her novels.

Start with Enemy Closer if you're ready to get sucked into a new thriller series, or read Thrillhers if you love short stories. The Beast and the Books and the Institute are great choices for fans of light Science Fiction. If you're a mystery reader, check out Tiger by the Tail on Kindle Vella and stay tuned for a new series of mystery novels staring the same heroine.</p><p>AK Weller's stories are heavy on the action, light on the romance (though there is a little bit!), and fast paced.

      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author Bio</strong><br />Laura Elizabeth has enjoyed a long career in business as well as a rich family life that, many years ago, took her to Daufuskie Island, South Carolina, for the first time.

They returned again and again to rediscover the island’s magic, to walk along its shores with their dogs, explore, treasure hunt and make family memories. As one of the Atlantic coastal islands, Daufuskie has been marked by centuries of American history and was made famous by novelist Pat Conroy's memoir The Water Is Wide in which he imagined the island in his unique way.

      <title>Author Interview with Lya Badgley</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author Bio</strong><br />Lya Badgley was born in Yangon, Myanmar. The child of Montana parents – a political scientist and an artist – she grew up in a household that encouraged critical thinking and creativity. After dabbling in retail management, Lya moved to the Pacific Northwest in the eighties, becoming a part of the Seattle arts and music scene. In the nineties, after a decade of life as a struggling poet/ musician, she returned to Southeast Asia as a videographer on a clandestine expedition interviewing Burmese insurgents. A year later, she was working as director of Cornell University’s Archival Project, microfilming documents at Tuol Sleng Museum of Genocide in Cambodia, helping to bring war criminals to justice. Finishing that, she managed the first foreign-owned project of its kind for the time, opening the 50th Street Bar & Grill Restaurant in Yangon, Myanmar. Since then, Lya has been an elected city council member and a dedicated environmental activist.</p><p>She is a member of the Women’s Fiction Writers Association, the Pacific Northwest Writers Association, and Hugo House. Her first self-published novel, The Foreigner’s Confession, was released to good reviews in February of 2022. Her second novel, The Worth of a Ruby, launched November 2023.

      <title>Author Interview with Shelley Kenow</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Author Bio:<br />Shelley is a wife, mother, dog lover, special education teacher, speaker, and education consultant. She believes that while we each know who we are today, we don’t know who we will be tomorrow. The example she uses to shed light on this is the caterpillar turning into the butterfly.

      <title>Author Interview with Erin Easton</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Author Bio:<br />My name is Erin Easton. I had a long journey from fear to living from the heart and I continue to walk it every day. Fear kept me from being my true self for a long time. I had a father who was emotionally abusive and a brother who was an addict from age 15 on. For my own well-being I developed the ability to people please which kept my family from directing their anger towards me, but in the process I lost myself. My only way to let out the frustration and emotion was to push myself really hard in sports. I was a competitive mountain biker on the USA cycling team through high school and turned my emotional pain into physical pain. I had a lot of really bad crashes that finally led to a back injury that gave me nerve damage down my left leg. I could barely walk, couldn't lean forward at all, and sitting in a chair was excruciating. The thought that I would never be able to do my sports again left me alone to face all of my fears and emotions without the one vice that kept me sane. I had also broken away from my family through the process because they were toxic to my well-being but it left me feeling completely alone and unsupported. I sunk into a deep depression and spent a lot of time in anger. I knew I needed to make a big change to pull myself out of it. So I moved to Geneva Switzerland to do my masters. It was there that I began to study meditation and mindfulness.</p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong><br />00:15 Introduction<br />02:17 What are your books about?<br />04:13 What inspired you to write your books?<br />05:31 Who are your books for?<br />06:48 How long have you been writing and what made you start?<br />8:05 What’s your schedule like when you are writing a book?<br />10:32 What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?<br />11:45 What is your favorite writing snack or drink?<br />12:07 What type of books do you personally read?<br />13:05 Are there any books or writers that inspired you to become a writer?<br />14:31 What type of books did you grow up reading?<br />15:54 Now as an adult what are some of your favorite series or authors?<br />16:37 Do you have any advice for those just starting to read again?<br />17:29 Is there any advice you would give someone just starting to write their own book?<br />20:40 Any additional comments?<br />22:40 Where is the best place for readers to find your books and to connect with you?</p><p><strong>Connect with Erin Easton</strong><br /><a href="http://www.Newleafmindfulness.com">website</a><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Living-Heart-Healing-Ourselves-World/dp/B0CFWL5G38/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.G6S7IUdiH-fd4REbL3wL5eHBIJoBq6dBoz4kNseWetcz7TH4Mw4bmqJW3XVsjc3w2mVNzxnDo8IF2DAfuWYl3mv7iNRgg60zgMWYaeFOdKd6_M1pfxw1AfbLSTt0q_7M-fPUgaV35kCcjiSokZP4hQ__F9Tr304sDawKQE_Tia_1XVXvtqQuqwRYsV6FoNfAjbb0_SH6QZy95RWAa5iyawMm1JUVvyN5IAbR6Dr8Gg0.C7vh3E8Lnnf7UritEbuYTwlkp_YxF4zlGuOXbZ3QFmc&dib_tag=se&keywords=Erin+Easton&qid=1709777908&s=audible&sr=1-1">Amazon</a></p>

      <title>Author Interview with Erika K. Wolf</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Author Bio:<br />I faced a life-altering diagnosis of HER2+ stage III breast cancer at the age of 43. Throughout my 18-month treatment—chemotherapy, mastectomy, radiation, and reconstruction—I realized the power of perception and sought complementary therapies to enhance my well-being. Embracing cancer as a transformative experience, I cultivated gratitude in profound life lessons. I discovered a gap in the oncology community's support for holistic healing, so, fueled by my passion to help others facing similar challenges, I now strive to share my journey and the efficacy of complementary therapies, especially with physicians and caregivers. Through my resilience and commitment I hope to inspire change in mainstream oncology care. By advocating for the integration of holistic approaches, I aim to empower countless individuals facing similar challenges, fostering a new path to healing and recovery. Now with the release of my memoir: Cancer & Other Things I’m Grateful For, I am sharing my personal journey with people around the world in the hopes of inspiring them when dealing with health challenges for themselves or loved ones.</p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong><br />00:15 Introduction<br />00:56 What is your book about?<br />2:18 What inspired you to write your book?<br />4:01 Who is your book for?<br />5:27 How long have you been writing?<br />7:22 What is your schedule like when you are writing a book?<br />9:07 Is there anything in your writing space you need to help you stay focused?<br />10:28 Do you have a favorite snack or drink when writing?<br />11:07 What type of books do you personally enjoy reading?<br />12:09 Are there any books or authors that inspired you to become a writer?<br />14:28 What type of books did you grow up reading?

      <title>Author Interview with Mark Steven Porro</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>About the Author<br />“This author weaves his stories together, employing a wickedly humorous skill not unlike that of David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs”</p><p>Mark Steven Porro, a New Jersey native (Exit 163), holds an Industrial Design degree from The Ohio State University. After years of agency work, his love of acting led him to Hollywood, where he appeared in dozens of television, film, and theatre productions. Mark also spent his twenty-eight years in Hollywood, entrepreneuring. He started five non-profit companies. But hold the applause, none were intended to be. He now lives in the South of France. But hold your pity. He of sound mind and body chose to suffer in the heart of wine country where the locals insist his French isn’t so bad—at least that’s what he thinks they’re saying. </p><p>Mark is an award-winning designer, writer, and director. He has written lots of jokes, several screenplays, and one award-winning short film. A Cup of Tea on the Commode—a sad, sweet, and funny memoir—chronicles his adventures of filling his mother’s last years with love, laughter, and joy. Though not always successful, he came pretty damn close. And he survived to tell the tale. </p><p><strong>Connect with Mark Steven Porro</strong><br /><a href="https://acupofteaonthecommode.org/">Website</a></p><p><strong>Links</strong><br /><a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ripollsworkshop">Support the Podcast</a><br /><a href="https://mailchi.mp/30a7be3e81ef/69wqrzezob">Newsletter</a></p><p><strong>Follow us</strong><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads Podcast <a href="https://instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreadspodcast?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=">Instagram</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contact">Website</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ripollsworkshopreads">YouTube</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads">Instagram</a><br />Our Host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/">Courtney Ripoll-McBride</a><br />Music Created/Episode Mastered By: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass">Patrick McBride</a></p>

      <title>Author Interview with Dan Henk</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>About Dan Henk<br />Dan’s early career included a year and a half stint drawing political cartoons for Madcap Magazine and illustrating underground projects such as Maximum Rock and Roll. In 1997, after struggling through a violent car crash and a knife fight with a crackhead that severed the tendon on his left thumb, he attended art school.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>About Dan Henk<br />Dan’s early career included a year and a half stint drawing political cartoons for Madcap Magazine and illustrating underground projects such as Maximum Rock and Roll. In 1997, after struggling through a violent car crash and a knife fight with a crackhead that severed the tendon on his left thumb, he attended art school. Receiving some commercial and local gallery acclaim for his artwork, he moved to New York City in an attempt to kick start an art career. Heavily immersing himself in the local hardcore scene, he produced artwork for the bands Shai Hulud, Indecision, Koshari, Unsound, Coalesce, Most Precious Blood, Locked in a Vacancy, Beyond Reason, and Zombie Apocalypse, not to mention various local record labels and venues.</p><p>His first novel, The Black Seas of Infinity, was published by Anarchy Books in 2011, and he started an illustrated calendar featuring a variety of artists.

      <title>Author Interview with Samantha Creech</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Author Bio<br />My name is Samantha Jane Creech, a furniture creative, entrepreneur, mom, and spirited traveller with a drive to cultivate less waste and more green living through the art of home restoration. Inspired by simple pleasures, small spaces and the charm found within each, my passion is rooted in transforming tiny houses into bold homes, creating spaces that are economical, eco-conscious and individualized.</p><p>I was born and raised in Sunny California. As a Veteran, I travelled around the world during my military service, savoring an array of art, culture and living styles. Blending my worldly experiences with my personal passion for repurpose, I have built a refurbishing furniture business and began an exciting journey of renovating our family Tiny House on wheels. I follow a simple yet valuable philosophy: By restoring your space, you revitalize your soul. This is the essence of my pursuit, helping people downsize their home to essentially upgrade their life, both emotionally and financially; and to assist people during the transitionary phase of their life whether it be retirement, kids moving out or simply a life change. I will be your clutter comrade and home replenisher; ready to lend a hand, guide the transition and help you ease into the new phase of life.</p><p><strong>Connect with Samantha Creech</strong><br /><a href="https://picturlypetite.com/">Website</a><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/stores/Samantha-Creech/author/B0937MBJFT?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true">Amazon Link</a></p><p><strong>Links</strong><br /><a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ripollsworkshop">Support the Podcast</a><br /><a href="https://mailchi.mp/30a7be3e81ef/69wqrzezob">Newsletter</a></p><p><strong>Follow us</strong><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads Podcast <a href="https://instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreadspodcast?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=">Instagram</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contact">Website</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ripollsworkshopreads">YouTube</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads">Instagram</a><br />Our Host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/">Courtney Ripoll-McBride</a><br />Music Created/Episode Mastered By: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass">Patrick McBride</a></p>

      <title>Author Interview with Audrey Birnbaum</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author Bio</strong><br />Growing up in New York in the late 1960s, Audrey Birnbaum assumed that watching Holocaust documentaries was a perfectly normal family activity. On her first day of elementary school, Audrey sat in the cafeteria, unwrapped her liverwurst sandwich, and excitedly told her new classmates about her public television proclivities. Her Brady Bunch-watching peers had never heard of PBS, but they had heard of PB&J (and they weren’t too keen on liverwurst either). They made it abundantly clear: Audrey’s childhood was, in fact, not normal at all.</p><p>We will never know whether it was schoolyard bullying or watching tragic Shoah documentaries that was responsible for Audrey’s acute sensitivity to others; but that empathy may have helped pave the way for her choice of medicine as a career. Audrey chose to specialize in Pediatric Gastroenterology — for who needed more help than children; and where could anyone feel more suffering than in one’s gut? Day after day, she watched intricate family dynamics play out in the context of fragile health. Audrey listened to each patient’s story until she could retell it with clarity and give it meaning. Through witnessing and recording these tender dramas, the seeds of writing had been planted.</p><p>Those seeds took root when, shortly after her father’s death in 2018, Audrey stumbled upon his extensive notes detailing his childhood escape from Nazi Germany. Audrey felt compelled to start writing his riveting story – a story addressing themes that are pressingly relevant today. AMERICAN WOLF deals with tragedy and loss, while punctuating the triumph of the human spirit. It is a memoir of Holocaust survival, a family drama, an immigration tale, and an often funny coming-of-age story that is sure to have an impact on anyone who has experienced prejudice, displacement, or questions about their identity.</p><p>With her cherished medical career in the rearview mirror, Audrey now enjoys singing, writing, reading, and being with friends who also had quirky childhoods. She lives with her husband in Westchester County, New York, and has three marvelous grown children. Audrey is currently working on her second book.</p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong><br />00:15 Introduction<br />1:59 What is your book about?<br />5:39 What really inspired you to write your book?<br />7:34 When writing your book, who were you thinking of who the book is for?<br />11:01 How lnog have you been writing and what made you really start?<br />14:16 What was your schedule like when you are writing a book?<br />15:41 What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?<br />16:25 Do you have a favorite writing snack or drink?<br />17:42 What type of books do you personally enjoy reading?<br />18:52 Are there any books or authors that inspired you to become a writer?<br />19:21 What books did you grow up reading did you have an all time favorite?<br />22:36 Now as an adult what are some of your favorite books?<br />25:23 Any advice for someone just starting out reading again?<br />26:51 Any advice for someone just starting to write?<br />31:12 Whats one thing people are generally surprised to find out about you?<br />33:23 Any additional comments?<br />35:11 Where is the best place for readers to connect with you?</p><p><strong>Connect with Audrey Birnbaum</strong><br /><a href="https://www.audreybirnbaumauthor.com/">Website</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/audreybirnbaumauthor">Instagram</a></p><p><strong>Links</strong><br /><a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ripollsworkshop">Support the Podcast</a><br /><a href="https://mailchi.mp/30a7be3e81ef/69wqrzezob">Newsletter</a></p><p><strong>Follow us</strong><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads Podcast <a href="https://instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreadspodcast?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=">Instagram</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contact">Website</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ripollsworkshopreads">YouTube</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads">Instagram</a><br />Our Host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/">Courtney Ripoll-McBride</a><br />Music Created/Episode Mastered By: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass">Patrick McBride</a></p>

      <title>Author Interview with Sam Foster</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sam Fosters Bio</strong><br />My ancestral home is a dying little river port on the Illinois River. My father was, as the 60's country song tells, "Next of kin to the wayward wind." One result being that until I came to Los Angeles for college, I'd never lived for than two years in the same place in my entire life.</p><p>I was graduated in 1966 like every man in America who graduated that year I had a choice for my graduation trip - Canada or Vietnam. My antipathy to cold weather and a little of Socrates wisdom I'd picked up in college caused me to select the latter. So my first job out of college was with the U.S.M.C. A few years later I was honorably discharged after 5 months in a Naval Hospital with body and spirit reasonably intact.<br />I've always been a storyteller, but at twenty-four I was unwilling to "starve for art" and wanted disparately to find stability. So, I married, moved back to Los Angeles and dove into corporate America. It was not until I was in my mid-forties and a father of two with a house and a little money that I was brave enough to indulge my creative impulses.<br />The stories I've always liked best have more than a plot and couple of memorable characters, they also introduce me to an entire world I do not know. I write about things I know so I can show you worlds you may not. My first book was about a business hustle in Los Angeles. My second was about race in the U.S.M.C. during the Vietnam era. But this story, The American Trilogy, the one led you to read this bio, is about the America I grew up with and know well, whose history I understand better perhaps than its present, and which I will love until die.<br />The measure of a man is the things he's willing to die for. This story is about the things in America men have been willing to die for.</p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong><br />00:15 Introduction<br />4:22 What are your books about?<br />7:16 What inspired you to write your books?<br />10:11 When writing your books, who are your books for?<br />11:33 How long have you been writing?<br />15:42 What is your schedule like when you are writing?<br />17:12 Is there anything in your writing space you need to help you stay focused?<br />19:45 What are your favorite writing snacks or drinks?<br />20:43 What type of books do you personally enjoy reading?<br />23:17 Are there any books or authors that inspired you to become a writer?<br />25:14 What type of books did you grow up reading?<br />31:11 Now as an adult what are your favorite authors or books?<br />32:14 Do you have any advice for someone just starting to read again?<br />33:42 Any advice for those aspiring to write their own book?<br />36:10 What's one thing people are generally surprised to find out about you?<br />37:09 Any Additional Comments?<br />39:12 Where's the best place for our readers to connect with you and find your books?</p><p><strong>Connect with Sam Foster</strong><br /><a href="www.samfosterbooks.com">Website</a></p><p><strong>Links</strong><br /><a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ripollsworkshop">Support the Podcast</a><br /><a href="https://mailchi.mp/30a7be3e81ef/69wqrzezob">Newsletter</a></p><p><strong>Follow us</strong></p><p>Ripollsworkshop Reads Podcast <a href="https://instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreadspodcast?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=">Instagram</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contact">Website</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ripollsworkshopreads">YouTube</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads">Instagram</a><br />Our Host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/">Courtney Ripoll-McBride</a><br />Music Created/Episode Mastered By: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass">Patrick McBride</a></p>

      <title>Author Interview with Christopher J. Lynch</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Christopher J. Lynch is the author of the ONE EYED JACK crime novel series about a professional blackmailer who operates in and around the South Bay area of Los Angeles. The debut novel in the series was a 2013 Shamus Award finalist, and a 2014 Writers Digest honorable mention for genre fiction.</p><p>He's also the author of, EDDIE: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF AMERICA’S PREEMINENT BAD BOY, the authorized biography of Ken Osmond, the iconic child actor who played the obsequious and conniving Eddie Haskell from the TV series Leave it to Beaver. The book is one of the highest rated celebrity biographies on Amazon.</p><p>His latest work, DARK STATE, is a modern-day thriller about a terrorist attack that takes down the California electrical grid. Most recently, after the twin attacks on electrical substations in North Carolina and Washington State, his phone began blowing up with messages from readers who told him that “Someone must have read your book, DARK STATE!”</p><p>Christopher believes in working with his fellow authors and has helped numerous aspiring writers achieve their dream by offering free self-publishing seminars. Not one to be limited to speaking in the comfortable settings of libraries or writing groups, he also taught writing in a maximum-security prison for several years. He even helped get one of the inmate’s books published on Amazon.</p><p>And finally, Christopher is an adventurer who has climbed some of the highest peaks in the world including Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, and trekked to Mount Everest Base Camp. He also trained and led nine blind hikers to 10,000 ft. Mount Baldy, the third highest peak in Southern California. He’s also ridden his bike across Cuba, Alaska, and the American south. And, he’s flown on the zero G plane, aka: “The Vomit Comet.”</p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong><br />00:15 Introduction<br />1:57 What are your books about?<br />10:15 What inspired you to write your books?<br />11:49 Who are your books for?<br />12:52 How long have you been writing and what made you really sit down and start writing?<br />14:38 What is your schedule like when you are writing a book?<br />16:41 Do you need anything in your writing space to help you stay focused?<br />19:51 Do you have a favorite writing snack or drink?<br />20:24 What books do you personally enjoy reading?<br />23:52 What type of books did you grow up reading?<br />25:07 Now as an adult what are some of your all time favorite books or authors?<br />26:16 What advice would you give someone just starting to read again?<br />27:24 What advice would you give someone just starting to write?<br />31:56 What's one thing that people are generally surprised to find out about you?<br />33:37 Any Additional Comments?</p><p><strong>Connect with Christopher J.

      <title>Author Interview with Giulia Lagomarsino</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Author Bio:</strong><br />I'm a stay at home mom that loves to read. Some of my favorite titles are Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Horatio Hornblower. I started writing when I was trying to come up with suggestions on ways I could help bring in some extra money. I came up with the idea that I could donate plasma because you could earn an extra $500/month. My husband responded with, "No. Find something else. Write a blog. Write a book." I didn't think I had anything to share on blog that a thousand other mothers hadn't already thought of. I decided to take his challenge seriously and sat down to write my first book, Jack. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed writing. From there, the stories continued to flow and I haven't been able to stop. I hope my readers enjoy my books as much as I enjoy writing them. Between reading, writing, and taking care of three small kids, my days are quite full.</p><p><strong>Connect with Guilia Lagomarsino</strong><br /><a href="https://giulialagomarsinoauthor.com/">Website</a></p><p><strong>Links</strong><br /><a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ripollsworkshop">Support the Podcast</a><br /><a href="https://mailchi.mp/30a7be3e81ef/69wqrzezob">Newsletter</a></p><p><strong>Follow us</strong></p><p>Ripollsworkshop Reads Podcast <a href="https://instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreadspodcast?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=">Instagram</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contact">Website</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ripollsworkshopreads">YouTube</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads">Instagram</a><br />Our Host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/">Courtney Ripoll-McBride</a><br />Music Created/Episode Mastered By: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass">Patrick McBride</a></p>

      <title>Author Interview with Carrie Carter</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Carrie Carter has a profound love for Japan, cats, sumo, dioramas, and eating unusual foods. She has traveled with her husband Jim to Japan fourteen times, so her numerous holidays across her favorite country were the inspiration for her first book, Whiskers Abroad: Ashi and Audrey’s Adventures in Japan. Carrie has run multiple marathons including the Tokyo Marathon, and as expected, Carrie and Jim live with an adorable cat named Frenemy, who was unhappy at not being selected as the model for the book.</p><p>Carrie lives in Houston, TX and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin. At home, she loves to cook, design/create Halloween costumes, and daydream about meeting Jacques Pepin. She dislikes overly dramatic music used in reality TV shows. Currently, Carrie is working on her second book, a sequel to Whiskers Abroad, where Audrey and Ashi explore further into Japan and get themselves into even more interesting predicaments.</p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong></p><p>00:15 Introduction<br />00:40 What is your book about?<br />1:10 What inspired you to write your book?<br />1:45 When writing your book who were you thinking of when it comes to who your book is for?<br />2:05 How long have you been writing and what made you really sit down and write this book?<br />3:21 What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?<br />3:54 Do you have a favorite writing snack or drink?<br />4:17 What type of books do you personally enjoy reading?<br />4:49 Are there any books or authors that inspired you to become a writer?<br />5:24 What type of books did you grow up reading and did you have an all time favorite?<br />5:56 Now as an adult what is your favorite series or author?<br />6:30 Any advice for someone just starting to pick reading back up?<br />7:08 Any advice for those aspiring writers?<br />7:36 What is one thing that people are generally surprised to find out about you?<br />8:04 Any Additional comments?<br />8:30 Where is the best place for our audience to connect with you?</p><p><strong>Connect with Carrie Carter</strong><br /><a href="https://carriecarterwrites.com">Website</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/carriecarterwrites/">Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/AshiGrayCat/">Facebook Ashi the Cat</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/carriecarterwrites/">Instagram</a></p><p><strong>Links</strong><br /><a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ripollsworkshop">Support the Podcast</a><br /><a href="https://mailchi.mp/30a7be3e81ef/69wqrzezob">Newsletter</a></p><p><strong>Follow us</strong></p><p>Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contact">Website</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads">Instagram</a><br />Our Host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/">Courtney Ripoll-McBride</a><br />Music Created/Episode Mastered By: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass">Patrick McBride</a></p>

      <title>Author Interview with Tim McCarthy</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Tim McCarthy has a Master’s Degree in Education and a Grandmaster rank in the martial arts.

He has spent years researching developmental child psychology, chosen the best studies, and distilled them into simple, understandable language. He then drew on his vast knowledge of activities that help children become stronger physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and arranged them according to the capabilities of children at each age.</p><p>His unique perspective combining Eastern and Western educational philosophy creates a powerful road map for raising balanced children in an increasingly unbalanced world.</p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong></p><p>00:15 Introduction<br />2:10 Can you tell us about your book?<br />5:00 What inspired you to write your book?<br />6:05 When writing, who were you thinking of who your book is for?<br />7:06 How long have you been writing?<br />8:20 What made you really start to write your book?<br />9:00 What was your schedule like when you were writing?<br />10:20 What do you need in your writing space to stay focused?<br />12:15 What type of books do you enjoy reading personally?<br />13:20 Are there any books or authors that inspired you to become a writer?<br />13:50 What type of books did you grow up reading and did you have a favorite book?<br />15:10 Now as an adult are there any favorite books or authors that you have read?<br />15:45 Any advice for someone just starting to read again?<br />16:35 Any advice for someone just starting to write their own book?<br />17:30 Is there anything people are generally surprised to found out about you?<br />17:56 Can you go over what a Grand Master is?<br />19:30 Any Additional comments?</p><p><strong>Connect with Tim McCarthy</strong><br /><a href="https://4d-2d.com">Website</a><br /><a href="https://instagram.com/4dparenting">Instagram</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/tim.mccarthy.56481/">Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-mccarthy-654662179/">Linkedin</a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvSby4TG5zJWpbVo89Rh5jA">Youtube</a><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNB2wDXG6L3E3W7kyBgoWmw/">Youtube</a><br /><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/4Dparents">Twitter</a><br /><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@4dimensionalparenting">TikTok</a></p><p><strong>Survey Links</strong><br /><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QQNS2XZ">Mini Monday Episodes Feedback</a><br /><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Feedback-RRPodcast">Podcast Feedback</a><br /><a href="https://mailchi.mp/d544f68597f4/rr-newsletter-signup">Newsletter</a></p><p><strong>Follow us</strong></p><p>Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contact">Website</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads">Instagram</a><br />Our Host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/">Courtney Ripoll-McBride</a><br />Music Created/Episode Mastered By: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass">Patrick McBride</a></p>

      <title>Author Interview with JV Hilliard</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Born of steel, fire and black wind, J.V. Hilliard was raised as a highlander in the foothills of a once-great mountain chain on the confluence of the three mighty rivers that forged his realm’s wealth and power for generations.</p><p>His father, a peasant twerg, toiled away in industries of honest labor and instilled in him a work ethic that would shape his destiny. His mother, a local healer, cared for his elders and his warrior uncle, who helped to raise him during his formative years. His genius brother, whose wizardly prowess allowed him to master the art of the abacus and his own quill, trained with him for battles on fields of green and sheets of ice.</p><p>Hilliard’s earliest education took place in his warrior uncle’s tower, where he learned his first words. HIs uncle helped him to learn the basics of life—and, most importantly, creative writing.</p><p>Hilliard’s training and education readied him to lift a quill that would scribe the tale of the realm of Warminster, filled with brave knights, harrowing adventure and legendary struggles.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Born of steel, fire and black wind, J.V. Hilliard was raised as a highlander in the foothills of a once-great mountain chain on the confluence of the three mighty rivers that forged his realm’s wealth and power for generations.</p><p>His father, a peasant twerg, toiled away in industries of honest labor and instilled in him a work ethic that would shape his destiny. His mother, a local healer, cared for his elders and his warrior uncle, who helped to raise him during his formative years. His genius brother, whose wizardly prowess allowed him to master the art of the abacus and his own quill, trained with him for battles on fields of green and sheets of ice.</p><p>Hilliard’s earliest education took place in his warrior uncle’s tower, where he learned his first words. HIs uncle helped him to learn the basics of life—and, most importantly, creative writing.</p><p>Hilliard’s training and education readied him to lift a quill that would scribe the tale of the realm of Warminster, filled with brave knights, harrowing adventure and legendary struggles. He lives in the city of silver cups, hypocycloids and golden triangles with his wife, a ranger of the diamond. They built their castle not far into the countryside, guarded by his own two horsehounds, Thor and MacLeod, and resides there to this day.</p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong></p><p>00:15 Introduction<br />00:36 What are your books about?<br />3:10 What inspired you to write your books?<br />4:40 Who are your books for?<br />5:55 How long have you been writing?<br />7:08 What is your schedule like when writing?<br />8:55 What do you need in your writing space to stay focused?<br />10:10 Do you ahve a favorite drink or snack?<br />10:20 What books did you grow up reading?<br />12:50 Now as an adult what books do you read?<br />13:45 Advice for someone just starting to read again?<br />15:20 Advice for someone just starting to write their own book?<br />17:55 One thing people are generally surprised to find out about you?<br />19:50 Any Additional Comments?<br />20:54 Where is the best place for our audience to connect with you?</p><p><strong>Connect with JV Hillard</strong><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/JVHilliardBooks">Facebook</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/jvhilliardbooks/">Instagram</a><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/JVHilliardBooks">Twitter</a><br /><a href="https://www.jvhilliard.com">Website</a></p><p><strong>Survey Links</strong><br /><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QQNS2XZ">Mini Monday Episodes Feedback</a><br /><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Feedback-RRPodcast">Podcast Feedback</a><br /><a href="https://mailchi.mp/d544f68597f4/rr-newsletter-signup">Newsletter</a></p><p><strong>Follow us</strong></p><p>Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contact">Website</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads">Instagram</a><br />Our Host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/">Courtney Ripoll-McBride</a><br />Music Created/Episode Mastered By: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass">Patrick McBride</a></p>

      <title>Author Interview with Christen Horne and Jacob Wise</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Christen is, and always has been, a storyteller. She started with singing and musical theatre at the age of five, and went on to earn two music degrees. Fictional books (mostly fantasy, some sci-fi) were her best friends growing up and continue to be a huge part of her life. The earliest books she remembers reading are the Jewel Kingdom books and the Jedi Apprentice Star Wars books. By day she teaches singing to both advanced and beginners (including people who think they can't sing). By night she's either hanging out with her family or happily chronicling the events of her first fantasy novels.</p><p>Jacob has always been interested in new worlds. Role-playing games have always been his favorite. He was introduced to Heinlein, Tolkien, and Weis & Hickman early in his reading life.

      <title>Author Interview with Jim Marshall</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Mr. Marshall is a polymathic intellectual who has devoted over 50,000 hours to the study and practice of multiple dimensions of human potential and development. He received a classical education as an honor student at a Jesuit Military Prep School, was accepted into engineering school while still a junior in prep school, and attended college on academic scholarship. He graduated college with a Bachelor of Science cum laude. While still an undergraduate, he began the study of “alternative” Arts and Sciences which today would be described as Transformational and Holistic. Eventually, he became a professional practitioner and, after 28 years of formal education, had a long career as a Human Development Engineer. Jim has integrated the best aspects of the most advanced techniques on the planet, and expanded their limits by his own Research & Discovery. He has successfully treated and/or trained hundreds of clients over a 40 year career, and is the inventor of Septemics and several consciousness-expanding systems. His areas of expertise include psychology, philosophy, theology, parapsychology, science, engineering, mathematics, law, literature, history, music, organization, metaphysics, military science, political science, physical culture and education.</p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong><br />00:15 Intro<br />1:04 About your Book?<br />1:56 Benefits of Septemics<br />3:15 Does it apply to everyone?<br />3:50 Behind the scenes of one of the scales?<br />6:24 Does your book walk you through finding your level?<br />15:12 What inspired you to write your book?<br />20:50 When writing your book was there a specific demographic for who it is for?<br />26:45 How long have you been writing?<br />32:56 What was your schedule like when writing your book?<br />41:45 What type of books did you grow up reading?<br />44:08 Advice for someone just starting to read again?<br />46:12 Advice for someone writing their own book?<br />48:56 One thing people are generally surprised about you?<br />50:07 Additional Comments?<br />53:14 Best place to find your book and connect with you?</p><p><strong>Connect with Jim Marshall</strong><br /><a href="https://septemics.com/">Website</a></p><p><strong>Survey Links</strong><br /><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QQNS2XZ">Mini Monday Episodes Feedback</a><br /><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Feedback-RRPodcast">Podcast Feedback</a></p><p><strong>Follow us</strong></p><p>Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contact">Website</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads">Instagram</a><br />Rippolsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@ripollsworkshopreads">YouTube</a><br />Our Host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/">Courtney Ripoll-McBride</a><br />Music Created/Episode Mastered By: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass">Patrick McBride</a></p>

      <title>Author Interview With Katherine Nichols</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Katherine Nichols is a writer of suspense with heart and humor. (Dec. 2022). Women empowering women is Katherine’s passion. When she taught high school, she started a group for girls who wanted to excel. Katherine didn't set out to be a Southern author. It just happened, which wasn't a surprise since she was born and raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee. As an author, Katherine writes strong female characters. Themes of grief, loss, and forgiveness play an important part in her novels. She works with an all-women's critique group, which started the podcast Wild Women Who Write Take Flight. The interviews primarily include women authors, but they have male guests who are supportive of women as well. Katherine serves on the board of The Atlanta Writers Club and Sisters in Crime Atlanta. When she isn’t spending time with her children and grandchildren, she loves to read, walk, and travel. She lives in Lilburn, Georgia with her husband, two rescue dogs, and two rescue cats.</p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong><br />00:15 Introduction<br />1:15 What are your books about?<br />5:29 What inspired you to write your books?<br />7:21 Who is are your books for?<br />9:37 How long have you been writing?<br />10:57 What made you really sit down and write your books?<br />12:11 What is your schedule like when writing a book?<br />13:33 What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?<br />14:57 Do you have any favorite snacks or drinks when writing?<br />15:12 What books do you enjoy reading?<br />17:17 Are there any books or authors that inspired you to become an author?<br />19:04 What are some of your favorite books you read growing up?<br />20:34 Any favorite series or author now?<br />22:24 Advice for someone just starting to read again?<br />24:06 Advice for someone just starting to write their own book?<br />28:16 Where is the best place to connect with you?</p><p><strong>Connect with Katherine Nichols</strong><br /><a href="https://kathy-nichols.com/">Website</a><br /><a href="instagram.com/Kathystagnernichols">Instagram</a></p><p><strong>Survey Links</strong><br /><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QQNS2XZ">Mini Monday Episodes Feedback</a><br /><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Feedback-RRPodcast">Podcast Feedback</a><br /><a href="https://mailchi.mp/d544f68597f4/rr-newsletter-signup">Newsletter</a></p><p><strong>Follow us</strong></p><p>Ripollsworkshop Reads Podcast <a href="https://instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreadspodcast?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=">Instagram</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contact">Website</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads">Instagram</a><br />Our Host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/">Courtney Ripoll-McBride</a><br />Music Created/Episode Mastered By: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass">Patrick McBride</a></p>

      <title>Author Interview Moshe Goldstein</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Moshe Goldstein teaches sixty-two biology students at Ner Israel Rabbinical College. Moshe graduated Ner Israel Rabbinical College with a Bachelor’s in Talmudic Law. Currently, Goldstein is attending Towson University to attain a degree in Computer Science and Mathematics. He has experience working for Technica Corporation on the AI research and development team, enhancing a network security machine learning engine that detects anomalous network packets. He has also spent time interning for an intellectual property law firm that focuses on patents and trademarks.</p><p>For his work in Computer Science, he received the Mid-Atlantic CIO Forum award and the Doris K. Lidtke Excellence in Service Award for outstanding excellence in Computer Science at Towson University. Moshe has served as a panelist for Towson University open houses discussing his journey into Cyber Security and Mathematics. </p><p>His hobbies are playing piano, reading, helping others and staying curious. He is an EMT with membership in a local EMS organization. Moshe believes that the best time to start is when you are younger and wants to encourage more people to go after their dreams. </p><p>Moshe decided to write this book because of his passion for helping others. He wants to support and encourage young people to create something for their own. In this vein, Moshe wants to change the way people perceive starting businesses and encourage more people to do so.</p><p>Often described as a creative and out-of-the box thinker, there is no problem that he is not willing to take head on. This passion drives him to relentlessly pursue not just the easy answer; but to find long lasting solutions to problems. Having a well-rounded experience of many different subjects allows Moshe to understand the daily struggles of all people and come up with solutions to problems that are laser focused. Overall, Moshe loves to see people succeed.</p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong><br />00:15 Introduction<br />0:29 What is your book about?<br />0:55 What inspired you to write your own book?<br />2:22 Who is your book for?<br />3:00 How long have you been writing?<br />3:37 What is your schedule when you're writing a book?<br />5:06 Is there anything you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?<br />5:43 Any favorite drinks or snacks when writing?<br />5:46 What are some books you personally enjoy reading?<br />6:04 Any books or authors that inspired you to become an author?<br />6:56 What were some of your favorite books reading growing up?<br />7:36 As an adult what are some of your favorite series or authors?<br />8:07 Do you have any advice for someone just starting to read again?<br />8:46 Do you have any advice for someone wanting to write their first book?<br />10:52 Any additional Comments?<br />12:56 Where can our audience connect with you?</p><p><strong>Connect with Moshe Goldstein</strong><br /><a href="instagram.com/startermindset1">Instagram</a><br /><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/moshe-goldstein/">LinkedIn</a><br /><a href="twitter.com/startermindset">Twitter</a><br /><a href="startermindset.com">Website</a></p><p><strong>Survey Links</strong><br /><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QQNS2XZ">Mini Monday Episodes Feedback</a><br /><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Feedback-RRPodcast">Podcast Feedback</a><br /><a href="https://mailchi.mp/d544f68597f4/rr-newsletter-signup">Newsletter</a></p><p><strong>Follow us</strong></p><p>Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contact">Website</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads">Instagram</a><br />Our Host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/">Courtney Ripoll-McBride</a><br />Music Created/Episode Mastered By: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass">Patrick McBride</a></p>

      <title>Author Interview with Mark Anthony Powers</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Mark Anthony Powers grew up in the small town of West Lebanon, NH. At Cornell University, he branched out into Russian and Creative Writing while majoring in engineering. After receiving his MD from Dartmouth, he went south to the University of North Carolina for an internship and residency in Internal Medicine, followed by a fellowship in Pulmonary Diseases and Critical Care Medicine. After almost forty years in clinical practice and teaching, he retired from Duke University as an Associate Professor Emeritus of Medicine and began his exploration of other parts of his brain. Writing, gardening, IT, and magic courses were just some of the enjoyment that followed. A deep dive into beekeeping led to his presidency of the county beekeeping association and certification as a Master Beekeeper. Two cups of coffee and two hours of writing most mornings produced the medical thrillers A Swarm in May, Breath and Mercy, Nature’s Bite, and Culled. <br /> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Timestamps</strong></p><p>00:15 Welcome/Intro</p><p>1:00 About your Books</p><p>7:15 Who are your books for?</p><p>10:05 How long have you been writing?</p><p>13:35 What is your schedule like when writing?</p><p>14:40 What do you need in your writing space to stay focused?</p><p>15:30 Favorite snack or drink?</p><p>16:00 Books you enjoy reading?</p><p>17:15 Any books or authors that inspired you to write?</p><p>20:30 What books did you read growing up?</p><p>25:30 Advice for someone just starting to read again</p><p>28:00 Advice for someone just starting to write?</p><p>30:00 What’s one thing someone would be surprised about you?</p><p>31:00 Any additional comments?</p><p>32:30 How can our audience connect with you?</p><p> </p><p><strong>Connect with Mark Anthony Powers</strong><br /><a href="https://hawksbillpress.com/">Website</a><br /><a href="https://hawksbillpress.com/breath-and-mercy/#breath-and-mercy-book">Breathe And Mercy</a><br /><a href="https://hawksbillpress.com/a-swarm-in-may/#book">A Swarm In May</a><br /><a href="https://hawksbillpress.com/natures-bite/#natures-bite-book">Natures Bite</a></p><p><strong>Coffee Chat</strong><br /><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIlfuuhpjkvGNIpqG8YK3HsTbhMSGStiCVk">Registration</a></p><p><strong>Survey Links</strong><br /><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QQNS2XZ">Mini Monday Episodes Feedback</a><br /><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Feedback-RRPodcast">Podcast Feedback</a></p><p><strong>Follow us</strong></p><p>Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contact">Website</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads">Instagram</a><br />Our Host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/">Courtney Ripoll-McBride</a><br />Music Created/Episode Mastered By: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass">Patrick McBride</a></p>

      <title>Author Interview with Emma Leigh Reed (E.L. Reed)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Emma Leigh Reed/E.L. Reed, originally from New Hampshire, now resides in Tennessee. She has fond memories of the Maine coastline and incorporates the ocean into all her books.

Growing up as an avid reader, it was only natural for her to turn to creating the stories for others to enjoy. She continues to learn through her children's strength and abilities that pushes her to go outside her comfort zone on a regular basis. She teaches English at a local Community College. She is the author of crime thrillers, romantic suspense, women’s fiction and has co-authored children’s books.</p><p><strong>Timestamp</strong></p><p>00:22 Introduction</p><p>00:52 What are your books about?</p><p>1:55 What inspired you to start writing?</p><p>3:08 When writing do you outline who the book is for?</p><p>3:42 How long have you been writing?</p><p>4:28 Do you plan to turn a book into Non-fiction book, or no?</p><p>5:11 Were there any books or authors that inspired you to be a writer?</p><p>6:00 Favorite book growing up?</p><p>6:50 Favorite series or author as an adult</p><p>8:38 Advice to someone starting to read again?</p><p>10:00 Advice for someone wishing to pursue writing</p><p>11:03 Schedule when writing</p><p>13:25 Favorite snack or drink?</p><p>14:23 Pen Name?</p><p>15:40 Final thoughts and comments to the audience</p><p>16:30 How to connect</p><p><strong>Connect with EL Reed</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.emmaleighreed.com/">Romantic Suspense/Women’s Fiction Website:</a><br /><a href="http://www.elreedauthor.com">Crime Thrillers Website:</a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/emmaleighreed/">Instagram</a></p><p><strong>Follow us</strong></p><p>Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.ripollsworkshopreads.com/about-contact">Website</a><br />Ripollsworkshop Reads <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ripollsworkshopreads">Instagram</a><br />Our Host <a href="https://www.instagram.com/theripollsworkshop/">Courtney Ripoll-McBride</a><br />Music Created/Episode Mastered By: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/patmcbride_bass">Patrick McBride</a></p><p><strong>Coffee Chat</strong><br /><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIlfuuhpjkvGNIpqG8YK3HsTbhMSGStiCVk">Registration</a></p><p><strong>Survey Links</strong><br /><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QQNS2XZ">Mini Monday Episodes Feedback</a><br /><a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Feedback-RRPodcast">Podcast Feedback</a></p>

      <title>Author Interview with Kendra Thomas</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Kendra Thomas is from Mapleton Utah, a small town pressed against the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Kendra has been an aspiring author since she was in sixth grade. She has a passion for fairy tales and fiction books. Along with songwriting, horse riding, and playing the guitar. Kendra Thomas is a Dental Hygienist by day and a writer by night. She earned her bachelor's degree at the Utah College of Dental Hygiene at the young age of nineteen years old. She is also happily married to her best friend, Cade Thomas, who is always pushing her to be ambitious and creative. ​ Her most wanted dream is for others to love her stories and characters as much as she cherishes them. She hopes to inspire other young authors to pursue their dreams, and to write about the worlds inside their heads as she was once inspired to do as a young girl.
